- Good idea to create a separate thread - was taking me ages to re-read to find out the various info. Anyway, being new to a pda/sat nav, and obviously not as technologically advanced as most people, I am still a bit confused with the various versions / upgrades available. I have the Medion MDPPC 150 (MD 95459) with Medion Navigator version 4.4. What upgrades (if any) should I be making to this to enhance my sat nav experience? I've seen various comments regarding installing poi-warner, and from looking at their web site, they do have a version to work with Navigator 4 and above. However, I've also read that people have installed Tom Tom 5 on their pda - is this better than Navigator 4 and/or does poi-warner with Navigator 4 pretty much do the same thing as Tom Tom 5 or do Tom Tom 5 users also use poi-warner?
Any information re the above would be greatly appreciated. - I've just bought a SD WiFi card from eBay for Ј27.99 inc. delivery (see the related Grabbit thread to see the auction listing) Should arrive today, I will post my findings later!
To use SatNav you'll need to swap memory cards. I recommend getting a leather case/wallet for the PDA that has SD card holders to make it simpler. It's unlikely you'll want to use Wi-Fi in the car whilst driving so I'm not too bothered about having to swap.
I would have liked to have been able to get the combined Wi-Fi and 256Mb SD card but Sandisk no longer manufacturer it. - I have the Medion with Navigator 4.4 and POI-Warner installed, I was going to play around with TomTom but I have heard that the Navigator maps are better, the only reason I can see to change to TomTom would be the ability to change the voices.
People also claim to have Navigator 5 on thiers, I am interested to know if they picked up a micromaxx one as apposed to a medion one. - How to upgrade from v5 to v5.1
Quote: - Thanks for the upgrade info PompeySteve.
There were no PDA's near me but I managed to get one reserved yesterday for my dad to pick up...now all I have to do is wait for him to get it to me!
It was a Micromaxx and now I'm wondering what the difference between the various models is and which one was the best to get. Anyone know? - AFAIK (aside from a post yesterday claiming that a Somerfield store at Mio 268s), they are all identical units.
Micromaxx PD95459 = Medion MDPPC150 = Mio 168 - jgjet and PompeySteve I have pm'd you

Software update from MobileNavigator|5.0 to MobileNavigator|5.1
Windows Mobile 2003 - Unfortunately Shaun, the upgrade requires you to have registered your Navigator software and have an activation code. To register, you need the serial number of the software - which Medion kindly do NOT provide in the box - hence the convoluted upgrade procedure!
- I didnt get on with the Navigator software found it ran very slow through menus and route finding , now got Tom Tom and it is loads faster and got a little program called POI Edit installed on my PC i fire it up and then get loads of POI's very easy to use and can auto update as well, got all the speed camera and mobile speed camera locations

If anybody wants any help give me a shout. - I suppose the next question is:
Where's the best place to get good free games! (legal of course) - I just phoned medion, the lady on the phone said the software that comes with the micromaxx will not work in the medion because the units are slightly different, the software is being adapted for the medion and should be ready in about a month but you would have to pay for it.
Anyway, I am not happy with paying the same price for a lesser item so i rang somerfield who are sorting something out for me. - Strange, as my unit is definitely branded Micromaxx!
Good luck - Yes she said navigator 5 works on the micromaxx but not the medion branded unit
